This blog will be a journey through my quiltwork and some artwork and my life...sometimes the muse' is not active but I'll try I was a gourd artist until my hands gave out, now I thoroughly enjoy playing with fabric and paint. Enjoy most everything that nature has to offer.
Family and friends are very important. I live in the beautiful Peace River Area of northeastern BC.

Easy Street Step #3

Busy day today, finished up step #3. I am using orange instead of purple. It was nice to add some turquoise to the mix. I used Bonnie's method for making these and they went quite fast.

Here are all three steps together.

I was busy this week making Big Star Blocks that measure 25" , so doing these little 3 1/2" units was a big switch. Here are three of the big blocks. They are from a Youtube that Missouri quilt has out. And if you would like to see that others are doing with the Easy Street Mystery Quilt check it out here: http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/2012/12/mystery-monday-link-up-part-3.html

I am in a swap and have five more to make and get in the mail to my partners. Our weather remains the same very cold, on the plus side today it was a beautiful bright sunny day with no snow. I love these bright sparkling winter days. Hope you are having a good weekend.

I love your colors. Bonnie's colors are lovely, but sometimes it is just refreshing to run across a little twist. It's going to be a beauty. I saw that tutorial and thought I'd give it a try at some point, your blocks are awesome.

Your colour choices are lovely, I wish I had your vision of what alternatives to use. This is my first mystery quilt, so I have played safe and used Bonnie's colours. Maybe next time I will loosely the temerity and go it alone on fabrics.

About Me

I guess I've been somewhat of an artist all my life, since 1999 my canvas has been Mother Nature's Gift the gourd. Five years ago I started quilting, and now I'm moving out of the box to 'art quilts' I've joined two groups, Fast Friday Fabric Challenge and the Fiber & Stitch Group, they are both offering me the challenges that I need to think 'out of the box'. I also like to make traditional quilts, you might say I've developed a real fondness for fabric.
